OK, here we go. My first camera was a little 110 model that I got when I was around 7 or 8 years old in 1970 or 71. Here is a picture of me with it (I'm the one in the red shirt in the middle)

Dad was always loved taking pictures and this is something he has passed along to me (my buddy icon is Dad and Me at 12,600 feet in Rocky Mountain National Park). I got a Petnax 35mm "point and shoot" camera with a zoom and several program modes as a wedding gift in 1987. It was great on the honeymoon and we used it for years. Next came a real Nikon, kinda, it was a Pronea 6i APS SLR. You probably didn't even know there was such a thing as an SLR that used APS film. I graduated from that to an N80. The first camera I got that Dad didn't buy for me is the Nikon D70 that I'm using today.

I enjoy taking photos of vacations, family and pets. I also seem to have become the official photographer at church where I live my motto, "the easiest way to take pictures that people love it to take pictures of people they love." I appologize if my photostream is full of "event" pictures, but it is the easiest way to let friends and family see them. I'm wanting to take more time to do "serious" photography by being more creative and maybe do some projects but time is the one thing I don't seem to have enough of! OK, midyear resolution, take more quality pictures!
